22.6 Management of commodity risk<br />

CO 2<br />

The <strong>Group</strong>’s European subsidiaries are exposed to market fluctuations on CO 2 emission rights prices, in<br />

connection with their surplus or deficit on the quotas allocated by their respective national governments.<br />

Trades on emission rights markets are transacted by the parent, <strong>Italcementi</strong> S.p.A., which since 2010 has also<br />

operated on behalf of the <strong>Group</strong>’s other European subsidiaries under an agency basis.<br />

From 2008 to <strong>2011</strong>, the <strong>Group</strong> transacted forward EUA-CER swaps (forward EUA sales and forward CER<br />

purchases) distributed in the period 2009-2013, to diversify and optimize its CO 2 emission rights portfolio.<br />

Furthermore, in 2010 and <strong>2011</strong>, the <strong>Group</strong> arranged price risk hedges with respect to the sales of surplus<br />

emission rights planned in the fourth quarter of 2010 for <strong>2011</strong> and 2012.<br />
